“This is a tribute to him”


New Delhi:

Ananya Panday, whose acting in her debut web show Call Me Bae is being compared to Kareena Kapoor’s iconic Poo from Kabhi Khushu Kabhi Gham, addressed these comparisons and clarified the purpose of her character. Ananya Panday said, “We are not trying to replicate or even come close to what Bebo did because she is a literal icon and her portrayal of Poo is a legacy. What she did was extraordinary. This is our tribute to her. If Bae can be even one percent lovable as Poo, then I think we’ll all be happy.”

Ahead of the release of Call Me Bae, Ananya Panday spoke about how she landed her dream role in the show. He told PTI, “They (the makers) sent me eight episodes at once and when I read it, I felt like I could die to be a part of this.” There is so much to do as a character, so many layers to the character.

The story of Call Me Bae revolves around the luxurious lifestyle of Bae (Ananya Panday) where financial worries have never entered her mind. However, everything changes when she loses her fortune, seemingly breaks up with her husband, and has to face the reality of starting over. The series stars Vir Das, Varun Sood, Gurfateh Pirzada, Vihaan Samat, Muskkaan Jaferi, Niharika Lyra Dutt, Lisa Mishra and Mini Mathur.

Produced by Dharmatic Entertainment and executive produced by Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta and Somen Mishra, the series stars Ananya Panday in her OTT debut.
